Step two: Choose classes or programs in sustainability

If you're coming here, or have already been here, you know that UNH has some of the best sustainability programs out there. Browse through our class and programs listings to explore programs or electives you might be interested in taking while you're here. Whether it's nature writing or environmental engineering, there's a class for everyone!

Step three: Get involved!

Whether your interests are in food, divestment, social justice, or waste reduction, there is a club for you at UNH.

Check out our student organizations page, where you'll find links to the org's facebook or Wildcat Link page, see what they do, and be able to contact them about their first meeting and getting involved!

Get involved in UNH Unplugged, an energy use reduction competition held on the UNH Durham campus each year. The major goal is to engage students living on campus in activities that reduce their ecological footprints - in particular, energy use. Compete for prizes and recognition while saving energy and emissions!

Step four: LIVING on campus

Getting around

WildCAT Transit provides busses that will take you all over campus and beyond! Campus connector will get you from your apartment down to class, and WildCat busses run from Campus out to Portsmouth, Dover, Newmarket and most recently Rochester. There's no need to have a car while you attend UNH.

Like to bike? Visit UNH Transportation Services at the UNH Visitor's Center near A-lot, show your UNH ID, and borrow a blue Cat Cycle - for free! Then happily ride all over campus knowing that you are improving your health and our air quality.

Conserve Energy

Small actions make a big difference. There are a lot of people on this campus and if everyone shut off their lights and appliances, and unplugged unused items, the savings would add up to significant numbers.

Get a powerstrip for your room so your laptop, phone charger, lamp and other items can all be shut off and not draw phantom energy while you're out of the room. Plus, it's just one switch to shut them all down!

Turn off lights when you leave the room. - this includes classrooms and other rooms on campus!!If you're leaving a room empty, shut off the lights, projectors, and anything else that was running.

Use natural lighting - read or work near windows or outside when you can.

Dimond Library offers a free scanning service. Faculty, staff, and students can use a KIC II scanning station -- located next to the photocopier outside the Addison Reading Room -- to scan paper documents.
